Isaías 64
1 ¡O si rompieses los cielos, y descendieses, y a tu presencia se escurriesen los montes,
“[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
2 Como fuego, que abrasando derrite, fuego que hace hervir el agua, para que hicieses notorio tu nombre a tus enemigos, y las naciones temblasen a tu presencia!
[Be] like a fire that burns twigs and causes water to boil! [Come down] in order that your enemies will know who you are, and the [people of other] nations will tremble in your presence.
3 Como descendiste, cuando hiciste terribilidades, cuales nunca esperamos, que los montes se escurrieron delante de ti.
You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
4 Ni nunca oyeron, ni oídos percibieron, ni ojo vio Dios fuera de ti, que hiciese otro tanto por el que en él espera.
Since (long ago/the world began), no one [SYN] has [ever] seen or heard about a God like you; you help those who (depend on/trust in) you.
5 Saliste al encuento al que con alegría obró justicia: en tus caminos se acordaban de ti: he aquí, tú te enojaste porque pecamos: ellos serán eternos, y nosotros seremos salvos.
You help those who joyfully do what is right, those who conduct their lives as you want them to. But [we did not do that]; we continued to sin, and so you became angry with us. We have been sinning for a long time, so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we be saved.
6 Que todos nosotros éramos como suciedad, y todas nuestras justicias como trapo de inmundicia; y caímos como la hoja del árbol, todos nosotros, y nuestras maldades nos llevaron como viento.
We have all become people who are not fit to worship you; all of the good things that we have done are only like [SIM] filthy/blood-stained rags. Because of our sins, we are like [SIM] leaves that dry up and are blown away by the wind.
7 Y nadie hay que invoque tu nombre, ni que se despierte para tenerte: por lo cual escondiste de nosotros tu rostro, y nos dejaste marchitar en poder de nuestras maldades.
None [of our people] worships you, and no one is completely dedicated to [IDM] you. You have turned away from us. [It is as though] you have caused us to be forced to continue our sinful behavior.
8 Ahora pues, Jehová, tú eres nuestro padre: nosotros lodo, y tú el que nos obraste; así que obra de tus manos somos todos nosotros.
Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
9 No te aires, o! Jehová, sobre manera, ni tengas perpetua memoria de la iniquidad: he aquí, mira ahora, pueblo tuyo somos todos nosotros.
Yahweh, do not continue to be angry [with us]; do not keep thinking about [our] sins forever. Do not forget that we are all your people.
10 Tus santas ciudades son desiertas: Sión desierto es, y Jerusalem soledad.
[All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
11 La casa de nuestro santuario y de nuestra gloria, en la cual te alabaron nuestros padres, fue quemada de fuego, y todas nuestras cosas preciosas fueron destruidas.
Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you, has been destroyed by fire. And all our [other] beautiful things have been ruined.
12 ¿Detenerte has, o! Jehová, sobre estas cosas? ¿Callarás, y afligirnos has sobre manera?
Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain [from helping us], and that you will cause us to suffer much more.
